  • 5 Julie Curry 22nd Sep 2025

    I cannot recommend highly enough. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost care, professionalism, and compassion. Every staff member was a credit to the company. They went above and beyond — even providing a thoughtful bag with biscuits, tea, and coffee for us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you for making a very difficult time so much easier to manage.

    I cannot praise McCosh funeral directors enough. They went above and beyond when handling my sons funeral. Everything was done with so much respect and dignity. They kept in contact with me every step of the way, from they collected my sons remains to the cremation. Anybody who needs a funeral director, please use Stephen McCosh. I can't recommend them enough and I can't thank them enough either.

    I was really touched by the respect shown for our mum throughout, and the time taken to explain us through all the steps even on the day. Thank you. 

  • 5 Taylor Dalton 30th Aug 2025

    Absolutely fantastic service from Gina, Mark, Stephen and their team. Make the family feel at ease at such a difficult time with their empathy and make sure there's no added pressure or stress with their attention to detail throughout organizing the funeral arrangements. Fantastic service and fantastic people, couldn't recommend them highly enough

  • 5 Tony Best 28th Aug 2025

    Wayne at the Newtownards Road branch looked after us and gave exceptional service. Most of the family live in various places around the UK now and did not have access to home computers but Wayne scanned a ton of photographs and documents for us so that we could have a video tribute for Hazel.
    We were kept informed as soon as the hospital, coroner, laying out, flowers etc were done and we were prioritised in any decisions needing to be made.
    I not sure that recommending a funeral director is the thing to do, but as tragedy is unavoidable then anyone faced with such a choice would have a hard time finding a better service than that offered by the East Belfast branch of McCosh, and Wayne in particular. Having said that, I hope I don't need to see him for a long time...for obvious reasons.

  • 5 Stephen Higginson 26th Aug 2025
